While walking to this office I pass Evans Cycles, and if am to use my bike off road, I have been advised to carry a puncture repair kit, a bike pump and a couple of spanners. So I popped into to the Cycle shop and bought a bike pump and puncture repair outfit for what seemed a reasonable amount, I had compared prices from Evans and Halfords and they seemed to be about the same.
However the tools were a different matter, both stores had tools for sale that I thought was a little over the top. A set of hexagon keys were £8.99, now being an engineer I have a little understand of the cost of tools, and knew that I could get a cheaper set else where.
Well next door but one to the Cycle shop was a hardware shop, so I walked in and, behold a set of hexagonal keys were on sale for the very reasonable amount of £3.95 a saving of five quid, I also picked up a couple of adjustable spanners, saving ne nearly 10 pounds in all, not bad for a 15 yard walk. It pays to shop around after all!
